Prologue- The End and the Beginning

Edit- 07/31/14

It was a grim day for the Vongola Famiglia. It was the funeral of their Vongola Decimo, for their beloved boss who had died while protecting his family. He lay in his coffin in a bed of flowers, much like the ones that had been in his coffin from when they had been transported to the future during their youth. The brunette lay there with a peaceful smile on his face, his expression making it seem as if he was only sleeping and would wake up any time soon.

Some wept while others comforted them and even more stood there grimly. But despite all of the sorrow, everyone had the one, same, single thought.

"Thank you for everything, boss/Tenth/Tsuna/Vongola/Tsunayoshi."

-Tsuna's PoV-

'Am I dreaming?' Tsuna thought as he felt himself almost floating in something. He slowly opened his eyes, only to see a pitch black darkness surrounding him. Tsuna "stood up" from his previous lying position as the floating feeling subsided. He looked around, although there was nothing to see, when the events that had occurred before he woke up in this state came back to him.

'Right, I died,' Tsuna thought with a sad, but unregretful smile, 'I don't mind since it was for my family. I do about the fact that I can't be there for them anymore, but I trust them to be able to carry on just fine. They are my guardians after all.'

Suddenly, Tsuna felt himself being slowly pulled upwards and he closed his eyes, 'I guess this is end.'

"Sorry to disappoint you, but it's not quite the end yet."

'What!?'

The sudden voice as well as the unclear meaning of the message surprised the brunette. Then, he heard other voices, but this time, they were familiar voices. At first they were unclear, but the voices became louder and louder until he could actually register what they were saying.

"Oh! Look! He's opening his eyes!" the female voice said excitedly.

Another voice, that of a male's, laughed and Tsuna felt himself being lifted once again, but this time it felt as if he were being lifted up by someone. Tsuna opened his eyes, but only to see a shocking sight.

"Welcome to the world, Sawada Tsunayoshi." The man that Tsuna knew as his father said as he held Tsuna a little above his head. Then, his mother took Tsuna back into her arms.

"Jeez, you'll scare him like that." She said in an almost teasing way.

Our little Tuna fish could only blink at them, dumbfounded, as a single thought ran through his head.

"What. The. Hell."

A/N- Okay, so I know I should actually be working on my other story "The Deceptive Mist and Innocent Sky", and I know that I haven't worked on it for a REALLY long time, but I'm currently putting that story on hold because at first, the next chapter just kept on coming out wrong and then I gave up for a bit, and then I noticed that I forgot what most of the story was about. As for the reason why I'm writing this story is that it was actually going around in my head for a while and then it finally decided to bug me and practically saying , "WRITE ME!" so…. Yeah… anyway, as for those who already know me, you know how I am with updates, and as for those who don't, please bear with me as I typically have extremely sporadic updates and although I do aim for at least 1 chapter/update per 2 weeks, I may not make those deadlines due to school and it's almost finals week for me. Also, please do leave reviews or PM me to help improve my story. I'm not so confident in my writing skills just yet and plus, I'm still in Middle School so my grammar may be a bit off DX.

Please review, favorite, and/or follow and see you next time!
